Have you read this book?
Is it about the russian armed forces?
Should I read it?

[Anonymous No.20330595]

it’s not very good, but you should read it

[Anonymous No.20330611]

The biggest issue the book has is that it explicitly says the reason the world is the way it is in the year 1984 is because Marx was right and any sensible person knows that every prediction Marx made was wrong, so the world turning into 1984 is impossible; that's why the year 1984 came and passed without resembling the book even a little bit.

Just like in the book 1984!!!!!!

more people should read Brave New World instead. the plot is fucking stupid but the general world building is pretty close to the modern dystopia.

Literally 1984! It wasn't supposed to be a manuel!

>that's why the year 1984 came and passed without resembling the book even a little bit
It definitely resembled the book in the Eastern Europe and other communist states. You're probably a zoomer who thinks 1980s were like Miami Vice or The Breakfast Club everywhere.

This. The book is about what drives us humans, and how it can eventually be exploited by a malicious government.

You should definitely read it if you haven't yet, it's eye opening in a weird way

[Anonymous No.20331221]

>>20331119
That's just a superficial view of the Soviet Union and 1984. Sure, you had a socialist government that tried to control every aspect of society and an elite unwilling to give away their power, but nothing close to the tacit agreement between continental superpowers to keep waging an unwinnable war to deplete the resources of the nation so that the workers never realize they don't need the government. If anything, the world was relatively peaceful, China was becoming capitalist and the US was nowhere close to becoming a socialist dictatorship. So, over all, pretty wrong.

I read the book and I don't fucking remember that. How the fuck would the main character even know Marx??

It doesn’t talk about Marx. I literally just finished it a day ago. You’re an idiot.

[Anonymous No.20331984]

there's literally nothing wrong with the 1984 world

[Anonymous No.20332165]

>>20330611
I agree with the other poster, this is quite possibly the stupidest post I've seen all year. If this is a troll, well done. For anyone that's wondering, Orwell was highly critical of communism in all of his works, most notably Animal Farm.

I find it amazing that America has been doing everything that Russia is doing right now for literal decades and the media bents themselves backwards to make them look like the good guys. Remember all the horrific rape of human rights that China did over the years? The Uighurs genocide? Remember Hong Kong? It's like people are discovering just right now that war is bad and people do bad things in it.

people are running the planet and human society into the ground to CONSOOM useless fucking products they do not need
40% of internet traffic is porn, we have gigantic boats traveling across the whole fucking ocean to deliver plastic garbage that sells for $0.5, we have smartphones, there is literally nothing elegant about humanity anymore

That's the English Civil Service for you. Ingsoc was simply the Civil Service finally freed from the theater of politics, permanent secretaries were no longer there to execute (and de facto dissuade and hamper) the policy of elected MPs. Newspeak was the superlative realization of the Civil Service's own euphemistic code.
